My dream drafts 2013

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; We could move down in the first pick up a second round pick and draft Jonathan Jenkins from Georgia [6'3 - 358] we wouldn't have to worry about a NT for a few years......

I am reminded of a Jim Finis saying that anytime you draft a big guy that can run you should because God didn't make many of them. NT is the one of the keys to the 34. J.Hankins Jessie Williams Sylvester Williams are some of the 34 NTs in a draft deep with quality players. Sheldon Richardson is more of a 34 DE . MANTI TEO is a player with success at. 34 ILB . One of the things necessary to the 34 is a WLB that can rush the passer . MINGO. JORDAN OKAEFOR JENKINS are possible. Pi ks at this position.

The philosphy of Jim Finks is forever burned into my tiny little brain.

Draft the big men 1st.

On defense, the closer to the line of scrimmage you get, the more important the position is.

A great front line can compensate for a bad secondary so much more than a great secondary can compensate for a bad front line.

D-Line>>>LB's>>CB's>S's

With todays arena league passing rules its not as concrete as it once was, but I still think it's mostly true. CB's may now be just as important as LB's in todays NFL.

Football starts with the line on both sides of the ball! Switching to a 3-4 we have to shore up our front 7 or even the best DB's will get abused.

A QB who can sit back and not worry about pressure can eventually find someone open. Same if we can't stop the run, then the safeties have to move down into the box and finding that open man becomes all the more easier

The prevailing therory is you build from the inside out. NT, DE ILB.The front three's job is to tie up the OL so that the 4 LBs can make plays. I feel that this draft is deep at both DL positions We should pick BPA defense in rd 1 and make multiple picks on the DL

Also since the draft is deep in D-Linemen it'll probably drop the free-agent value of those positions a tad.

Teams may decide to address DE/DT instead of shopping for those mid-tier free-agents more so than in previous years.

We may be able to address depth at key positions with some inexpensive roll player types thru free-agency.
